NJ Part year resident and part year non-resident

Hi, i & spouse (MFJ) were residents of NJ from Jan to Mar 31st. We moved to WA in April, with wife moving to WA employer immediately. I worked for NJ employer from Apr 1 to June 30th. And then moved to WA employer.

It looks like i have to file NJ part year resident and non-resident. And that this has to be a paper filing for NJ, which i can print out from TT. Please confirm the above.

Now when i use TT for calculating NJ part year resident, it is using the apportioned income for months of Jan to March to estimate the liability accurately. But, when i calculate non-resident income for NJ, TT is using the incorrect amount of total income of W2. And it is not giving me the flexibility to correct it. 

More details : This is the screen in adjustments of NJ state return, where the question is "Tell us your income while living in NJ. Total income on W-2 is xxxx." (This amount is incorrect.) .  Then it calculates the total income while living outside NJ. This amount is again incorrect, with no flexibility to change.  Please clarify.
